The following from the Times
King seems to be dead set on the
Jones bill, and as Dawes and associates
have declared that such cannot pass,
little hope remains for the accomplish
ment of good results at the present

gate Col. King, says:
Mr.. King went to Washington, Sc
cured the assistance of other Dakotaians
there, and of Delegate Clifford, and to-
gether they framed a bill satisfactory to
themselves, which they have had intro
drlced by Senator Jones of Arkansas, a
member of the senate committee on In
dian affairs.
Now it turns out that this bill is high
" Objectionable to Senator Dawes Of
Massachusetts, who is also member of
the same committee the respective
standing of the two members of the
committee being that Senator Dawes is
now as he has been for a number Of
years, the chairman of the committee,
with majority of the members of his
political faith as republicans, while
Senator Jones is the last member or
the committee with minority of demo-
Gratis.
The Rapid papers yesterday gave
suspicious manifestations that possibly
the representative of the Rapid board
of trade to Washington may possibly
have acted little precipitately in not

nores the Indian treaty of '68, which
Senator Dawes insists must be observed,
and very properly SO, inasmuch as no
less authority than the supreme court
of the United States has affirmed its
validity, and that it must be respected.
In antagonizing Dawes and colleagues,
King is defeating the very measure be
was sent to Washington to champion,
and il he persists viii prevent the accom-
plishment of measure calculated to
benefit the Hills more than any and all
other provisions awaiting congressional
action.
